The NATURALIZATION Society of Phladel-
phia is doing excellent work in prosecuting
persons guilty of adulterating food. Recent
investigations show that there have probably
been many deaths from the effects of poison
Gus matter used in making buns and other
articles of everyday consumption. Investiga-
tions by the State Board of Health in this
State at different times have resulted in some
what similar revelations, but the trouble is
that. except for adulterating butter and
milk, no prosecutions are made here. The law
is strict enough. but there is failure to
enforce it.

Theoretically this is done in the case of

The unusual heat Of the last two weeks

creased enormously, particularly among the

code and the tenement-house law at all seasons
of the year Is what is most needed. No>amount
Of medical assistance can relieve the effects Of
oyercrowding. Unfortunately there are no
indications that the present heated spell is
coming to close. The heat is general over
the country, and complaint is made in the
West that the summer is the hottest ever known
there. We are not much better off in the East.

The Counterfeiters.

Adolphus Adams, and his nephew Jim Nc.
Greer. living on the Saluday side OF the
county, and not far from Hodges. depot were
arrested and carried to GreenViile one day
last week, under the charge of passing coun-
terfeit money, and John Adams, brother o
Adolphus Adams, who has been In Jail at
Abbeville for q week or more. under simi liar
charge, was carried to Greenville last Monday,
where it WAS understood he would have a
preliminary hearing the same evening.
Several counterfeit silver dollars have been
found in different sections-at Abbevtlle and
along the rairoad-hut the counterfeit
money was so bunglingly made, that blind
man might easily detect the fraud. The
money was cast of Uabblt metal or some
other base meterial or composition and was
so poorly made as to scarcely deserve the
name OF counterfeit money. Only small
number of these coins have been circulated.
though there is abundant proof that these
counterfeit coins have been often offered and
almost as many times refused. They were
such poor limitations Of the genuine money
that 1t was difficult to impose them upon
anybody. UP to this time only some eight or
nine of the spurious coins have been found
The location of the foundry at which there
so-called dollars were cast has not yet been
discovered, and 1t is not yet known who did
the work. Anybody possessing the molds,
and having sufficient ingenuity to cast lead
bullet and clip Off the neck OF the ball, could
cast these dollars.
AS an expert at making the money, the
molder Of these coins may be set down as
failure, though 1t Is evident that there was
somewhere q willingness 10 establish mint
on private account.

What Does This Mean ?
Richmond State.


Mr. Rhea caused a lively little breeze
in the senate this afternoon few min
utes before the adjournment Of that body
by introducing the following preamble
and resolution:
Whereas, it is brought to the attention
Of this body that the Charleston, Cincln-
natl & Chicago railroad company are
represented here by number of lobby
lists; and whereas, from information re-
ceived, it is believed that the said Char
lesion, Cincinnati & Chicago railroad
company through some of its lobbyists,
have been and are improperly endeavor-
ing to influence the action Of the leglsla-
ture upon the bill granting certain rights
to said company therefore be it
Resolved, That committee OF three
be appointed to inquire into the conduct
of the representatives of said railroad
company. and that said committee shall
have power to send for persons or pa
pers.
Senator Rhea, in advocating the pass
age of the preamble and resolution, SAID
that he was in receipt of information
given to him by aperson whose name ne
could not divulge, showing improper
motives on the part of the persons who
are lobbying for the Charleston, Cincin-
natl and Chicago Railroad bill.
Senator Meredith repelled any refec--
ton made upon the character Of United
States Senator Butler, who appeared be-
fore the committee in behalf af tie bill
also any intjmation Of any action on the
part of that gentleman at variance with
honor and integrity. -.
Senator Rhea said he did not propose
10 charge or intimate that any pember Of
the senate had been or would be infu-
enced "by these lobbyists" Then he
added again: II say that from reason
cannot divulge, improper means have
been used for the passage Of this bill"

[CblunlJia Reoister.l
NEwBERRY. March 28.-When the
Reeves-Corwin case was called in Trial
Justice Bleaso's office this morning, it
was expected that there would be trouble
before the case would end, because Of the
personal feeling exhibited between Colo
mel George Johnston and Colonel John b.
Jones. While Colonel Jones was ad-
dressing the Justic on some point in the
case, the counsel became engaged In
passage of words, during which john
stone denounced Jones as an Infamous
puppy" whereupon firing began, which
continued till the contents of each pistol
was discharged.
Johnstone and Jones were within
few feet of each other during the firing,
and it is somewhat remarkable that both
were not killed. Colonel Jones, how
ever, received wound between the elgth
and ninth ribs, the bullet passing direct
ly downward and onward through the
stomach and diaphragm and lodging be-
meath the floating ribs on the right side.
Colonel Johnstone received one shot
through the lobe of his ear, glancSng
shot in his right groin, a bullet also pass
ing through the coat sleeve of his left
arm. Neither of his wounds are consi-
dered serious.
George B. Cromer, Johnstone's part
ner and the Mayor Of the city, in attempt
ing to preserve the peace narrowly escap-
ed with his life, two bullets passing
through his clothes.
This sad event has enshrouded the
whole city in gloom.

The Girls That are Wanted.

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good girls from the heart 10 tne iips'
Pure as the lily is white and pure.
From its heart to its sweet leat lips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That fathers and brothers can trust 100,
And the little ones understand.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what to do and TO say;
That drive with a smile or so1t word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that ore wanted are the girls OF sense
Whom fashion can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever Is pretty,
And dare what Is silly TO leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls,
Who count what thing will cost;
Who use with prudent generous mana,
But see that nothing Is lost.
The clever, the witty. the brilliant girl,
They are very few understand;
But oh for the wise, loving home girls
There's o constant and steady demand.
